Comment (by rhaas):

 The reasoning given seems correct though I am not sure if the patch is
 correct. First you seem to loop over everything (from 1 to cctk_lsh) but
 then use the [xyz]offset to access elements other than i,j,k which seems
 as if you might access memory outside of the array. Second (and of this I
 am not sure since it depends on how the plus/minus arrays line up with the
 ordinary ones), I would expect that if a plus or minus value is reset that
 the Riemann problem affected differs since plus is the value of the field
 at the right side of a cell but minus is the value at the left side (I
 believe to remember). Otherwise: very good catch :-)
